Is there a benefit to swapping our OEM turbos to Pure Turbos?

We need more information on them.
The way I see is upgrade to Pure Turbos, or upgrade to M5 headers and turbos , then upgrade the Pure Turbos. I've spoken to Pure and they said their Stage 1 turbo upgrade is the same regardless of it's the S63 or the S63TU, but our headers and most importantly the mounting flange for the turbo is different between the two engines, so it's gotta be a pre-planned setup so Pure can make sure the turbo has the correct header-to-turbo mounting flange.
